A targeted and profitable approach

A focus on profitable, growing French SMEs

Our small cap development capital team targets profitable unlisted SMEs in all areas of the French economy. The companies have revenues between €10 and €100 million and are valued at €10 to €50 million. They are leaders in their markets and their manager-shareholders are looking for a partner to back their development over five years.

Support for growth and transfer transactions

Internal or external growth transactions, sale/transfer transactions, delistings...we get involved at key times for a company's continuity and its capital structure. We help SMEs reach the next growth phase. We seek value creation for all stakeholders and clearly identified medium-term objectives (continue alone or with support from partners).

Our dedicated investment team of eight people has carried out nearly 45 investments and 15 withdrawals to date.

A strategy deployed across different funds

The small caps team manages four FCPIs, two FIPs and a FPCI (former FCPR) named Cabestan Capital. It generally invests between €2 and €11 million per transaction.
